16 BC Interior Community Foundation new name for our foundation It’s a celebration year for the Foundation as 2014 marks three decades of creating and managing a collection of endowed funds that support communities and quality of life in our region.
In recognizing this mandate and the many people we serve in different locations throughout the Thompson-Nicola, the board has undergone a consultation process to change our name and logo to better reflect this regional approach. We are now the BC Interior Community Foundation, a more inclusive moniker that reflects outreach not only in Kamloops, but surrounding regional communities, too. What the Foundation has retained is its commitment to serving as many community groups and individuals as possible with immediate and longer term needs – the impetus for creating the Kamloops Foundation 30 years ago. “We looked at other foundations in BC and across the country that have similar responsibilities to a wider area of people and researched how those organizations have incorporated that into their name and brand,” says Nancy Plett, BC Interior Community Foundation Executive Director. A supporting logo has also been developed to align with the Foundation’s wider mandate. A tree makes up the main part of the logo symbolizing deep roots and opportunity for growth. Individual elements are representative of the Foundation’s work including the tree trunk reflective of individuals the Foundation serves, while five leaves indicate the diversity of communities and programs. Water and nature are also represented through colour choice – green marking our landscape and blue for the rivers that run through our communities. The lighter colour of the trunk is welcoming and the deeper green in the leaves symbolizes the foundation’s commitment to responsible financial management. Board member and graphic designer Wenda Noonan created the logo. “The marketing committee knew that change is never easy, but felt that in order to realize the growth that we needed a change was in order. It was really important for us to stay true to the vision of the organization’s founding members and we consulted many of them throughout the process. It’s been rewarding to hear the positive feedback from so many in our community!” The evolution of name and logo have provided the Foundation opportunities to focus on attracting new donors to contribute to the Smart & Caring Community funds, which are distributed on an annual basis to areas of greatest need, says Plett. “Since announcing the change in March from the Kamloops Foundation to the BC Interior Community Foundation we have had wonderful response from outlying communities, who feel it’s more reflective of their area, too.” All of the outlying communities in our region have established funds, but some have not been as active as others in recent years. With the change of name and logo, Foundation representatives have been visiting smaller communities to reinforce opportunities for these funds and to stress that money raised stays within individual communities to help those who need it most. bcinteriorcommunityfoundation.com 17 our funds
